Sum in Q&A

I've created a simple dataset with tables for Categories, Budget, and Spending. There is one record in Categories for each category, and two records in Budget and Spending for each category -- one for year 2016, one for year 2017. 

 

When I use Q&A and ask "budget by year", I get the total budget for all categories, by year, as expected.

When I use Q&A and ask "budget by year and program", I just get a count of the number of years the data has records for (2). 

 

Using keywords like total, sum, etc. and playing around with various "by year and program", "by program, year", etc. don't seem to  help. 

 

Any suggestions?

Hi @acbarker,

 

When you use Q&A in Power BI, I think you'd better have a good look at the document about it first.

 

In addition, If the word or term is greyed out, then Power BI does not recognize it, or doesn’t recognize it in the current context.

 

For reference, please view the tips for asking questions in Power BI Q&A.

 

Best Regards,

Cherry
